Governmentality and what next? Beyond governmentality? An essay on two conceptual attempts to characterize neoliberalism

Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 3

Abstract

The Article presents two practical-theoretical attempts (by one Maurizzio Lazzarato the other by Antoinette Rouvroy) to apply and expand upon the foucauldian analysis of the actual. Both approaches exhibit the possible use of philosophical theories in social sciences. However, they also reveal a catalogue of problems that are symptomatic for contemporary neoliberalism.<br/><br/>
